The hearing committee found, and the board accepted, that the respondent violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 3.3 (a) (1), as appearing in 471 Mass. 1416 (2015), by knowingly making false statements of law.  The respondent argues that he did not make any false statements knowingly but rather that he simply misunderstood the law.  As the hearing committee noted, however, the respondent cited case and statutory law that simply did not support his position.  Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, the respondent had been sanctioned previously for the same behavior, i.e., intentional mischaracterization of the law.
